Grammar schools in Bath
There are no grammar schools in Bath.
Grammar schools are state secondaries that select by ability, usually through an 11+ test. Only 47 of the 226 local authorities in the UK still have any, and Bath and North East Somerset and Somerset is not among them, so every state secondary in Bath admits without a selective test.
The nearest is Marling School, about 26.7 miles away in Gloucestershire. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
